I understand. I was the same way, when I was first told.
I left New York to search for a way to cure the damaged nerves in my hands. My travels led me to Tibet where I was introduced to somebody who opened my eyes to the mystic world. I became this person's disciple, and studied at a monastery for... well, for quite some time. I was then told I'd learned all I could, I needed to leave and put my knowledge into practice.
This is, of course, an abridged version of the full story.
